Keith Price listed as starting QB on Huskies depth chart

Steve Sarkisian didn’t have to wait until the fall to name his starting quarterback.

Redshirt sophomore Keith Price was listed as the starter on the Washington Huskies‘ depth chart released on Wednesday, beating out redshirt freshman Nick Montana after the conclusion of UW’s 15 spring practices.

“Based on his entire body of work this spring, Keith Price has earned the right to be our starting quarterback,” Sarksian said in a statement on GoHuskies.com. “Keith worked extremely hard this spring and has developed into a team leader. I am also pleased with the progress of Nick Montana, who will continue to push Keith and make us a better football team.”

Not much of a surprise here, of course. Price already appeared the leader in that battle heading into Saturday’s spring game, then further solidified that thought by completing 20 of 28 passes for 212 yards and rushing five times for 53 yards without committing a turnover.

Jermaine Kearse, Devin Aguilar and Kevin Smith are listed as the starting receivers. From left to right, the offensive line starters are Senio Kelemete, Colin Tanigawa OR Erik Kohler, Drew Schaefer, Colin Porter, and Erik Kohler OR Ben Riva.

Chris Polk is the starting tailback, and in somewhat of a surprise, Jonathan Amosa is listed as the starting fullback ahead of Zach Fogerson.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Michael Hartvigson are listed as either/or as the starting tight end.
